Complementary, in my opinion. Downtown Kitchener needs to have a critical mass of places to go to attract people.
Yes, to some extent they are complementary, and not competing for the same business. But if Imbibe were to return, how would it be able to differentiate itself from those three? The current downtown population can only support so many restaurants and bars, until we have more people living and working downtown.
There doesn't seem to be any chance of this.... The city can't hold out on developing eateries on the possibility of an old favorite returning.
